Default channels
The conda package manager searches for and installs package files from locations called channels. If you install conda via Anaconda Distribution or Miniconda, your configuration comes “out of the box” with some default channels, which are maintained and hosted by Anaconda. The current default channels are:
- main - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
- r - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r
- msys2 - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2
Use of the default channels is subject to Anaconda’s Terms of Service.
For more information on what channels are and how to use them, see Channels.
To view information on the default channels, as well as any defunct or archived channels, see https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs. This page also includes links to lists of every available package per channel, organized by operating system and architecture.
